In previous versions (cygwin, xfree, ddd), DDD did compile and run out 
of the box.  I believe that is why no one took it upon themselves
previously.

Okay.  That is good to know.

However, a lot has happened since then and I stand by my point that 
someone will have to dedicate some time to getting this to work.  The 
LessTif questions could be a red herring... the problem might be that 
there are some #ifdef __CYGWIN__'s in the code that cause problems with 
the new Cygwin 1.5.3-x + versions.  However, it could be any number of 
issues.
